Correct Puppetserver description in glossary (#3083)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Consistently write Puppet agent instead of Puppet Agent

* Correct Puppetserver description in glossary

The Puppetserver service compiles manifests into a catalog. The agent
retries this catalog and applies it. Manifests don't leave the
Puppetserver process.

Puppetserver does a lot more, so this is still an inaccurate description
but less than it used to be. For example, if the Certificate Authority
component is enabled it also deals with certificates and it's a
fileserver used by the Puppet Agent. The Puppet Agent also sends its
facts and reports to Puppetserver.
